When the Zen Dust Settles - Reflections of a Retired Zen Master
The composer asked the Zen Master:
“I would like to write a Zen song
But I don’t know where to begin”
The Zen Master replied:
“I meditate all day long
But I never know where to begin”
President Obama’s wife asked the Zen Master:
“Since my husband became President
He has changed
I don’t know what to do about it”
The Zen Master replied:
“If I were you
I would become a nun
And pray all day for my husband
Until he wakes up from his dream
From wanting to be someone else”
The owl asked the Zen Master
“I hunt in the night
And I sleep in the day
How does that help me to get enlightened?”
The Zen Master replied:
“It sure has helped me”
The Zen Master asked Spiderman:
“With all the things you do every day
You must be enlightened?”
Spiderman replied:
“I am not Superman”
The Angel asked the Zen Master:
“What will happen to me
When I am retired from being an Angel?”
“That is a good question
We all have to think about retirement
Who will give us food stamps?”
